One thing I've found to be so challenging along this journey is to keep living in the here and now, while eagerly anticipating the future. I know you fellow adoptive families can all too well relate. I truly don't want to miss these moments with my children or my husband ... yet truth be told, it is a daily challenge. Steven Curtis Chapman captures this so well in his song "Miracle of the Moment". Below is the video for you to enjoy. God is always at work ... even when we don't have all the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly together in front of us. He is the master designer and He is in control. My mind can be consumed of "what ifs" and "if onlys". May you see the miracle of the moments today.
